Celebrating 13 Years Of Christ-Centered, God Glorifying Preaching | CERC 13th Anniversary

either you put yourself under god's rule and you repent and believe that's what jesus says the message is all about or you continue as it always has been that is why the message of salvation from jesus is not only forgiveness [Music] the message from jesus is also judgment in proclaiming the gospel we have to make the points about sin and judgment clear our job is not to preach peace you know or some aberration of the gospel that ignores the realities of the lord's wroth upon sinners how will people be safe if we do not preach the gospel as as the lord removing his wrath through his son people need to hear the horror of their own sin in their lives they need to hear the horror of god's coming judgment so that they may fall on their knees and submit to god and entrust in his son this is jesus crowning where he is whipped on our behalf so that he can be king on the cross [Music] and so this should really humble us jesus is our hero jesus shows true power true worship that we should also imitate whereas the christians here whether or not you realize it which is pretty sad if you don't you have a living hope because of this resurrection of jesus christ from the dead which means this resurrection jesus christ is incredibly important it's critical for all of life if you want to have life you must have jesus as he says in john 3 you must be born again what jesus is saying here is not turning over a new leaf nor is it just having mere repentance or even just becoming a christian what jesus is really saying here is in reality you need to be a completely new person a completely different person you need to be born again a radically new being belonging to god good news is the blessing of election that comes from god's sovereign grace it is a fact that he became sin for us it is a fact that he did it all as the victorious king because he is the humble servant this character of god is nowhere to be found in any god or gods in the known world because all the god of gods are created by men and they're actually demons like we all know only this god who deserves hours of preaching looking through all the scriptures like the bereans did in acts the reason why those who listen to the word will most definitely be in heaven now and will go to heaven eventually the reason why these things are true is because this word is in fact the practical function of god because god himself is the author because these words are practically god himself you see the reason why the word of god is god's word is because the word of god is actually from god because god has actually made this word his words his words are practically leading us and holding on to us so that we will get to heaven have you been reading the bible in the same way that led to the reformation that gave us the true gospel that gave us a beautiful church in a way where when you read the scriptures all these ten chapters you've been reading with us for most of this year have we been reading this as the personal encounter with the living god what you think is this boring word-centered preaching and churching according to colossians and ephesians parallel is the perfection that god planned before time began creating the planet and millions of tons of oil reserves is easy creating diamonds and gold fauna and flora to have a world that flourishes with dna they have millions of caribou and bison and rabbits and anything else we need to eat running across the planet or the face of the earth easy the biggest massive project going on is not some railway in china it is the creation of human beings who are holy and who love and the way you do that according to colossians and ephesians 4. is preaching when we talk about election we are teaching about love when we're talking about faith we're talking about love we talk about the gospel talking about love we're talking about the truth we're talking about love we talk about the church we talk about love to make it very simple what we do on sunday and whenever you read a bible is we preach christ crucified then you learn love so don't ever say preaching is unloving and discouraging preaching is the most loving thing we're doing 13 years of regular preaching isn't that amazing even when i have broken arm i managed to continue that's amazing actually anything about it there's a lot of uh dangerous two days without sleep moments you know plus i have to do conferences and all that and now we got two more guys and then soon another girl and then soon another guy and soon another three more guys yo all that right is a display of god's glory in his church [Music] [Applause] [Music] you
